It may be worth to introduce local helper like
'make_stream_from_apr_file(svn_boolean_t supports_seek)' and use it in
svn_stream_from_apr_file2() and svn_stream_for_stdin() instead of
clearing mark/seek handlers after calling svn_stream_from_apr_file2().
Another problem that currently svn_stream_t for stdin/stderr/stdout
pretends to support native svn_stream_skip(), while I'm not sure that
all platforms support seek for stdin.
